More Information
Summary:A propulsion system includes a drive shaft movable in rotation about an axis of rotation, a low-pressure compressor driven in rotation by the drive shaft, the low-pressure compressor having a mean radius, a fan shaft, a fan driven in rotation by the fan shaft, a reduction mechanism coupling the drive shaft and the fan shaft, having a reduction ratio, and an inlet channel which extends between the fan and the low-pressure compressor, the inlet channel having an inlet adjacent to the fan and an outlet opposite the inlet and adjacent to the low-pressure compressor, the inlet having a mean radius. A first ratio between a ratio of a mean radius of the inlet channel and the mean radius of the low-pressure compressor, and the reduction ratio of the reduction mechanism, is strictly less than 0.35.
